  • Family-friendly north Wales site 10 minutes' drive from Mold
  • Rhyl half an hour’s drive; Eryri National Park/Snowdonia 45 minutes
  • Set amid ancient woodland; logs for campfires available to buy on site
Tree Tops and Train Tracks, in Flintshire, may well prove to be a great base for your exploration of north eastern Wales, whether you’re after hilly walks in the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Park (on whose outskirts the site is located), coastal attractions (Prestatyn beach is a half-hour’s drive away) or historic structures like Chirk Castle (45 minutes). Oh, and not forgetting Eryri National Park (also known as Snowdonia, 45 minutes). If you just can’t wait for your next dose of forest bathing, this family-friendly spot is the place for you, set within 18 acres of ancient woodland inhabited by butterflies, hares and bats, plus assorted birdlife, with a former railway track (hence the name) running through it. Stroll through the wildflowers and hay meadows in Coed Y Felin North Wales Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve (five minutes), or lace up your boots for a challenging hike, perhaps up Moel Arthur (10 minutes) or Penycloddiau (20 minutes), both topped by the remains of ancient hill forts. Both destinations sit along the long-distance Offa’s Dyke Trail, which you can then follow in the direction of Chepstow (southwards) or Prestatyn (to the north). When you return to base, get the campfire going (you can buy logs from friendly owners Seb and Hannah), ready to grill whatever you bought in nearby Mold (10 minutes). If you fancy a pub meal, the nearest watering hole is in the village of Nannerch (five minutes' drive, or a 15-minute stroll). The site is largely off-grid, with low-footprint facilities, including compost toilets. There are also showers and a washing-up area.

What customers say

This is a highly-rated campsite praised for its exceptionally friendly and welcoming owners, cleanliness, and beautiful natural setting. Guests love the unique accommodation options, including tree tents, and the well-spaced pitches offering privacy. Facilities, particularly toilets and showers, are frequently described as immaculate. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, a few minor points have been raised, including difficulty finding the site due to an inaccurate postcode and occasional issues with shower pressure and hot water. Improvements to bathrooms have been noted in later reviews. The site is ideal for families and those seeking a peaceful, eco-friendly escape.

The Swallow Tentsile ready tent (hanging)

Liked The campsite is lovely. Lots of space, great facilities and honestly working on being eco-friendly. We stayed in the Swallow and it was ideal for three people. We didn't use camping mats, just our sleeping bags. In colder weather you would probably want a thin mat for heat insulation.

We only needed one night of accommodation and we were grateful we could stay here instead of a hotel.

Have already recommended this to friends with kids who live in Chester.

Disliked If you're coming with children warn them that the playground at the start of the drive-way is not for guests. It's not in the listing, but my son got excited when he saw the trampoline.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (medium)

Liked Lovely, friendly owners, the place was clean and beautiful! can only imagine it in better weather and more into the summer. Loved the communal fire pit area and covered parts, so even in bad weather, we were able to be outside. Also, an amazing Indian 3 mins down the road :)

Disliked The composting toilets were a shock to the system, but that's me and not the site. They were explained very thoroughly and demonstrated.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked Thank you so much! For our first trip camping we had the most amazing time. The campsite itself was easy to find, super clean, and had everything you needed and more. The owners were very helpful when contacted prior to arriving and very welcoming on arrival. What a fantastic find that we will definitely be visiting again for a longer stay.

Disliked Unfortunately, some of the trees had fallen down and lots of the forest was closed off. We can’t wait to come back and explore more of the site.

Local attractions

For a day at the beach, head to Rhyl (half an hour’s drive), where a vast (at least at low tide) expanse of sand ought to make the kids happy, whether they choose to dip in and out of the water, fly kites or build sandcastles. Founded by the Romans, Chester (35 minutes) is home to Britain’s largest Roman amphitheatre, plus well-preserved city walls. The ornate Eastgate Clock sits where the entrance to the ancient Roman fortress once stood, while the Dewa Roman Discovery Centre displays artefacts unearthed locally. Snowdonia may be an active person’s dream destination, with hiking trails of varying levels of difficulty, mountain-biking at Antur Stiniog, paddleboarding and canoeing on Llyn Tegid lake (which is also a popular spot for fishing), plus outfits like Zip World Fforest and Zip World Llechwedd.
